      19 Jul 15 17:38, you wrote to me:               ml>> i just discovered that the 'F'ind function seems to be broken in the        ml>> latest golded+... this is the first time that i've really        ml>> needed/wanted to use it... i was looking for messages from a certain        ml>> individual but none were ever found... i was searching, with 'F', for        ml>> 'john smith' without the quotes... nothing would be found... even if        ml>> i was currently on a message to or from john smith... if i searched        ml>> for just 'john' or just 'smith' then it worked... apparently the        ml>> search doesn't work with spaces??               MD> As you were already told, one has to enclose the search string in double        MD> quotes if the string containes spaces. It is a feature and not a bug.              yes, i've found this out, now... it wasn't apparent previously...               ml>> the second thing i found that doesn't seem right is that 'F'ind only        ml>> looks from the current message to the last message... there's no        ml>> option to search from the first message to the last...               MD> To search in backward direction just put a minus sign before the        MD> search string. So it may look as -smith or -"john smith".              this has also not been apparent...              what are the chances of the enhanced search capabilities i described to be       included? i would do it but i'm worse with C/C++ than i am with russian or       ukrainian languages ;)              )\/(ark              ...
